For the record

An article on Scotland Yard's assistant commissioner, John Yates, who voiced "extreme regret" for failing to reopen the investigation into phone hacking at News International in 2009 ("Met's Yates apologises for failure to reopen phone-hacking probe", News), incorrectly stated that Lord Macdonald, the former director of public prosecutions, is "advising News International on handling legal claims brought by phone-hack victims". He has, in fact, given some advice to the company about the separate issue of allegedly corrupt payments to police on the part of News of the World journalists.

A panel in last week's In Focus report on the Murdoch empire, "What now for press regulation", said a successor to the Press Complaints Commission might have its members drawn from outside journalism. In fact, most of the PCC board are non-journalists.
